Abstract

The mansucript is an update to the earlier Science of Synthesis contribution describing methods for the in situ generation of thiocarbonyl ylides and Corey-Chaykovski reagents (sulfonium and sulfoxonium methanides). Whereas thiocarbonyl ylides react as electron rich 1,3-dipoles, Corey-Chaykovski reagents act as methylidene transferring agents. The most relevant application of thiocarbonyl ylides relates to the synthesis of tetrahydrothiophene (thiolane) and 1,3-dithiolane derivatives via [3+2] cycloadditions with electron deficient C,C and C=S dipolarophiles, respectively. In the recent decade, Corey-Chaykovsky reagents were widely applied for cyclopropanation, epoxidation, aziridination as well as for diverse heterocyclization reactions. In all cases, asymmetric versions of the applied protocols is of great interest.

TrendTerms

TrendTerms displays relevant terms of the abstract of this publication and related documents on a map. The terms and their relations were extracted from ZORA using word statistics. Their timelines are taken from ZORA as well. The bubble size of a term is proportional to the number of documents where the term occurs. Red, orange, yellow and green colors are used for terms that occur in the current document; red indicates high interlinkedness of a term with other terms, orange, yellow and green decreasing interlinkedness. Blue is used for terms that have a relation with the terms in this document, but occur in other documents.
You can navigate and zoom the map. Mouse-hovering a term displays its timeline, clicking it yields the associated documents.
